I Think My Bedtime Stories Have To Improve

On March 14, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In At home, Parenting

A month ago, Naomi and I started a new bed­time rou­tine of “chat time” with Kai, intend­ing for it to be a chance for us to talk about our day. It started off really well, with Kai eager to come up with stuff to talk about, and lis­ten to our sto­ries of what we did […]

Papa made up this song

On April 12, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Media, Parenting

I felt strangely proud this morn­ing when I drove Kai to preschool. The car stereo had yes­ter­day switched to The Hos­san Leong Show CD (in the CD changer since 2009). When I started the car after strap­ping him into his kid­die seat, this song started play­ing, and Kai was mes­mer­ized, and when it ended, asked […]

What Kai does when you give him 20 cents

On June 14, 2011 · 2 Comments · In Parenting

I guess you could say we’ve taught our son a cou­ple of good things.

This was shot at Base­ment 1 of Paragon. To be fair, if it were at the fifth floor, the money would have gone towards a Bar­ney ride.

Smelly people

On February 19, 2011 · 2 Comments · In Parenting

Kai learned the word “smelly” from Naomi’s mum, and to our delight, applied it when Naomi brought him to the zoo — he applied it on the goats at the kids’ sec­tion, where they had a pet­ting zoo or some­thing, I dunno, I din go.

Then last week Naomi brought him to the zoo […]

Milestones

On January 30, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In Parenting

Kai pooped in his potty. Not once, but twice and almost three times.

He missed his hat­trick only because I was busy putting the dishes in the sink and he went in his dia­per before I could sit him down.

Then there’s the read­ing. About a week ago, he started read­ing the let­ters on his alpha­bet biscuits […]

A year and a week

On April 13, 2010 · 4 Comments · In Parenting

It’s been a rough week since Kai’s birth­day — with both Naomi and I under the weather with bouts of food poi­son­ing, flu, and in Naomi’s case, a crook back that is a bit wor­ry­ing, espe­cially con­sid­er­ing she’s had her spine surg­erised before.

And […]

Best lazy Sunday ever

On December 21, 2009 · 4 Comments · In At home

It’s mid after­noon and I’m sleepy, and before I know it, I’ve put my head down for a nap. Naomi pats Kai for a bit, and puts him down next to me, where he falls asleep in two sec­onds, and while drift­ing into sleep, I can hear Naomi’s breath­ing enough to know that she’s also […]

Kai’s menu

On November 20, 2009 · 4 Comments · In Eating, Parenting

This is Kai deter­mined not to open his mouth to eat any more carrots.

In over a month of eat­ing solids, he’s devel­oped a pref­er­ence for green stuff and for pump­kin. His favourite food is mashed peas, fol­lowed by mashed avocado.

He really really really […]

All is good in the world because our baby just flipped over

On September 5, 2009 · 1 Comment · In Laws of our land, Parenting

And we also vis­ited Ion Orchard for the first time, tak­ing in the labyrinthine and (mostly) under­ground mall’s offer­ings and crowds. OMG was it crowded.

But the high­light of the week has to be that Kai turned him­self over sev­eral times on his own (though still with con­stant accom­pa­ni­ment of his cheer­lead­ing squad of Mama […]

#joy

Things that bring us hap­pi­ness these days tend to revolve around Kai. His name in Japan­ese means “The World”, so he’s our world after all.

We’re happy all of the time because we have Kai. Hap­pi­ness tends to be an envelop­ing state of mind. But there are lit­tle moments that hap­pen through­out that are just simply […]
